The Broker is an application layer protocol. On the other hand BSD sockets are used to implement network interfaces at the TCP or UDP level, so this is kind of "apples and oranges". But, to be sure, the Broker uses a connection handling model significantly different from most TCP/IP based protocols.
On the Windows end, the Broker components use plain old Windows sockets, but there still has to be an API on the MUMPS end. It would br great if MUMPS vendors would implement something like BSD sockets in a uniform way instead of forcing people to use system dependent code to accomplish the same thing. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I don't think the problem is so much with MUMPS, as with CPRS and the > RPC > Broker attempting to implement it's own protocol instead of being > written to > use the BSD Sockets API which has been around much longer than VistA. > > Steven B.
